and grace and dignity pleasant TO behold:
And when Father Archibald commanded the
trumpet to be sounded, the kids and the
lambs gathered themselves together round
about him, and wistfully gazed upon his
countenance, for they were ahungered. AND
Father Archibald looked at the hocks and
herds gathered unto him, and he lifted up
his voice and cried aloud. Behold, the ninety
